Asda Extra Special Apple & Blackcurrant Crumble Cake

Nothing says threesies in these cold winter months than a chunky slice of cake with a cuppa. In fact I think I have become part cake the amount that has been consumed in recent weeks. One of the more recently consumed was this Asda Extra Special Apple & Blackcurrant Crumble Cake. This golden beauty is generously filled with rich blackcurrant jam and smooth buttercream and hand decorated with a luxurious butter crumble. Sounds pretty perfect doesn’t it.

This one serves 6 which is far…

Asda Red Velvet Cheesecake

Red Velvet is slowly but surely being incorporated into other varieties other than just cake. Red velvet cake is my favourite cake in all the land and I am all for it popping up in other forms just so long as it is done well. Today’s review is in homage to red velvet and is the Asda Red Velvet Cheesecake.  In a rare jaunt to Asda I picked this single cheesecake up from their fresh dessert aisle for £1.50.

Asda Lemon Bakewells and Toffee Bakewells

Bakewell Tarts are a humble classic that tick quite a few of the afternoon snack criteria. Traditionally with a jammy layer, frangipane and iced topping encased in a pastry outer, Asda have given the traditional a twist and made Lemon Bakewells and Toffee Bakewells. Being the intrigued beaver that I am and seeing if these really can be an alternative to the traditional Bakewell Tart, for £1 a pop I decided to take the plunge and give these a whirl.  Asda Lemon Bakewells Triple layered with lemon flavoured curd, citrus sponge and lemon fondant I love the look of these, they…
